Mr. NewHeart

David’s story begins on March 11, 1989, when he has a massive heart attack. He tells of his nearly fatal episode of heart arrhythmia and the stress of having an implantable defibrillator in his abdomen for twenty months. He struggles to accept that his chance for a miracle transplant can only occur when another person dies. David receives a new heart in 1991 at the age of 46 and he tells how it has affected him and his family. “Mr. NewHeart” continues through the following years of blessing and challenge. David’s story is one of faith in God, courage, endurance, victory, and miracles. In 1969 David served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam as an infantry lieutenant. He is writing Casualties of War – An Infantry Lieutenant in Vietnam. It will describe his year in Vietnam and how the war impacted his life and the life of his family after he returned home. It will be published in the spring of 2023.
